In a very luxurious room with a typical decoration of the bridal room, Septian sitting restless. He saw the clock in his hand many times. Just a few more moments. And I think he's getting nervous.

Not far from her, Shaila was sitting in front of the dresser. Besides, there are two MUA people who are finishing their makeup. Elegant simple white kebaya with matching hijab he wears today. Yes, today is her wedding day and Diego.

"Quiet." Nara said, holding her husband's hand. "You're so nervous about exceeding the bride bang." Ledek.

"Huf." Septian let out a rough breath and then linked his finger to Nara's fingers.

"It's a heavy duty yank." He looked at Nara. "This is the first time I've played a role as a father's replacement." Septian's eyes suddenly condensed when he remembered his father.

"Would've done it." Nara cheers.

Septian tried to smile even though his heart was riled. "Abang is just afraid of Ra. Fear of handing Shaila over to the wrong person. Afraid she's unhappy. After this, Shaila's most entitled is no longer me or her mother, but her husband." Septian tears could not be held back. He's not a whiny guy. It was just that his heart was completely blue at this moment.

Nara understood what Septian felt. Especially considering Diego's track record.

"This is Shaila bang's choice. He knows what is best for him and what makes him happy. Don't overthink it. I'm sure Shaila had thought carefully before accepting Diego's proposal."

"It's over." The words of one of the MUA stopped the conversation of Septian and Nara. Both look at Shaila and approach her.

"Masyaallah is beautiful, Sister Shaila. Pantesan Mas Diego hunts down to want to ngehalalil." Tempt the MUA while staring at the reflection of Shaila's face in the mirror. Shaila blushed in embarrassment. Today, his true feelings are undefined.

"Who dong's sister was." The Septian Chirps were now standing behind Shaila. His eyes stared at the reflection of Shaila's face in the mirror. Her sister is so beautiful.

"You're so pretty Sha." Praise Nara who is also near Shaila.

"Thank you brother." Shaila answered while looking at Nara.

"You happy Sha?" Ask Septian.

Shaila turned her seat to face Septian. He could see the cloud on the brother's face. He held both of Septian's hands while looking up at his face.

"Shaila happy bang." He expressed his deepest feelings. And it can be seen by Septian.

Septian touched Shaila's head and then kissed her long ago. "Abang always prays for your happiness. May your choice be the best."

"Amen.... " Sahut Shaila and Nara together.

The melow event must be completed because the time has come. The groom is ready in the hotel ballroom and the wedding will take place soon.

Lastri and Sarah take Shaila to the venue. While Nara, holding Septian and always encourage him not to be nervous.

The ballroom atmosphere is not so crowded. Diego and Shaila deliberately only invited relatives during the marriage contract. Only at the reception tonight, there will be many people invited.

Shaila sat in the back with Miss Lastri, Sarah and Nara. Septian sat opposite Diego who currently appears very fond with traditional Javanese clothing that is in harmony with Shaila.

Diego and Septian's faces were equally dull. This is a first experience for both. Diego last night continued to memorize what he had to say today, as did Septian. And that makes it more stressful. The event was broadcast live on Diego's sosmed account.

After taking a breath and throwing it away slowly, Septian began to perform his duties as a guardian. And with one breath, Diego managed to say the kabul hijab well and correctly.

LEGITIMATE

The word instantly echoed throughout the ballroom. Both breathed. No exception Shaila. Miss Lastri seemed to shed tears. His feelings were mixed at this moment, between happy and sad.

Diego's parents also seemed to shed tears. Especially the father who repeatedly wiped the tears. He's happy because Diego gets a woman like Shaila. His biggest wish is to see Diego get married for the first and last time. She doesn't want the incident between her and Diego's mother to repeat itself to her son.

...******...

After the wedding ceremony was over, Shaila and Diego took a break in the room. They are waiting for the MUA who will change the makeup of the two of them for the reception tonight.

The awkward atmosphere was so felt between the two. Even though during the wedding preparations, they have often had intense conversations and often threw jokes. But somehow, after the change in status, it felt awkward.

Diego ventured to hold Shaila's hand above the girl's confession.

"You happy?" Ask Diego. Their eyes looked at each other. And obviously there was a twinkle of happiness.

Shaila nodded in embarrassment while smiling. Two with Diego in one room, making it look like he's not getting any oxygen.

"Thank you Sha." Said Diego kissing Shaila's hand.

"Thank you for accepting me as your priest."

Again Shaila could only answer with a Nod. He was too nervous, even his heart was beating several times faster at this moment.

"Sha's."

"Yes." Yeah."

"You are so beautiful today."

"Thank you." Shaila answered with blushing cheeks.

"Emmm.... "Diego seemed hesitant to continue he said.

"What?"

"Can I call you?"

Shaila's face instantly turned red. A kiss? obviously it was something new to him. Until this moment, he had never felt a kiss. He had only seen her in the Korean drama scenes he had watched.

Shaila nodded while looking down. She bit her inner lips to reduce nervousness.

Dealing with female creatures is not new for Diego. She has even done more than kisses with her ex, Anna. But this time, it felt different. He felt an incredible nervousness.

Though it has been this past week, he continues to be unable to sleep because he imagined the first night with Shaila. But why now, all his imagination, it seems ambyar. There was, just a tremendous nervousness, even his heartbeat could not be controlled. Until I breathe, I forget how.

With eyes that never left staring at Shaila. Diego began to touch her chin with a slightly trembling hand. He lifted Shaila's chin until their eyes stared at each other.

Shaila saves her danger so nervous. His heart was about to explode as Diego's face got closer to his. Her body brimmed as her husband's warm breath began to feel on her skin.

His eyes automatically closed as he felt something wet and springy touch his lips.

Tok tok tok tok

The knock from the direction of the door dissipated the concentration of the two. Diego immediately pulled his face as well as Shaila.

Tok tok tok tok

The knocking was heard again. Made Diego want to not move to open the door.

He walked with a bad feeling. Why is it that such a situation is not on his side. Even to kiss a woman who is halal, there are still distractions.

When he opened the door, two MUA men stood with large suitcases.

"Bothering huh? sorry?" Said one of them while smiling absurdly. The other one seemed to be holding back laughter. It seemed like they could see the annoyed expression that Diego had on his face.

Diego opened the door wide and let them in.
